My Bluesbird has a serial number with a CH prefix. Every "Date Your Guild" site I've been to lists the CH prefix as a '90s D4-12 acoustic and nothing else. Anybody here have any knowledge of how that could be? The neck appears to be a normal BB neck/board and doesn't look anything like the D4-12. The serial configuration is CH000xxx

Hello TommyG,

Welcome! You probably have a Corona made Bluesbird with a serial number that starts with CM000xxx. These serial numbers are not always all that clear and the letter M might look like an H.

I bought this black beauty from forum member Los Angeles a couple weeks ago. Fantastic guitar.

I've never seen gold hardware look so clean! Wow.

I would lift my gold hardware ban for that beauty.

To you folks who are more Guild-wise than I, there is a bluesbird listed on both Ebay and Reverb and I am in love with the natural maple top. The asking price is $1500 and I notice it has been listed on Reverb for 5 months. I'm curious why this might be listed for this long. Is the price on the high side? It seems in wonderful condition with the exception of some spotting or pitting on the bridge. Any thoughts on that?

Hope I've posted this query where it belongs, but scold me if you have to.

I finally found the time to take some pictures of my 2000 Blues 90. It's a wonderful guitar, but unfortunately I am going to have to let it go so I can get some work done to my car. The serial number is CL001999. If I didn't have two of these I would be holding on to this one for sure.

DThomasC · May 5, 2015

Very nice. Should I look for your ad in the FT/FS section?

I'm the one that bought it. It's in as good a shape as described. I may put some single coils in it.

Red-headed stepchild/black sheep cousin here - I've recently acquired a Dearmond M-75, Moon Blue in flavor, which I'm attempting to restore. The gold leaf/plate or whatever it is on the pickups is peeling in a couple spots and I'm looking for any suggestions for touching them up without affecting the function. Anyone have any info?

Nice one axe! The elusive red BB. Great freaking guitars.

I think this is a Corona built Blues 90. Can anyone confirm the build date? Serial number is CM000504

Hello Charles,

Welcome! The official model designation for your guitar was 'Bluesbird P90' and it was completed during the year 2002.
